New products from Brugg Lifting at interlift 2022

Brugg Lifting unveiled several new products and services at interlift 2022. The company aims to empower customers in this way to become technology leaders in the lift industry.

New products

The first is the brand new 10mm coated traction product (CTP) is the only one of its kind on the market, according to the company. The large diameter CTP rope will help elevator manufacturers develop lighter-weight, longer-lasting elevators for a wider range of applications.

The coated technology and self- contained lubrication system allow for higher-capacity cabins, smoother rides, and reduced wear, all with minimal maintenance, emphasized the worldwide active manufacturer of lift ropes, architectural ropes, wire ropes and lashing and lifting gear. "The result is reduced elevator weight and costs, while maintaining the breaking load and increasing the lifespan of the elevator."

The new rope weighs less than 300 grams per meter, helping reduce rope weight by up to 30% compared to conventional ropes. It has a minimum breaking load of 52kN and can be applied on a 20:1 sheave diameter of 200mm with a expected lifespan of 4.8 million bending cycles.

Further expanding the CTP range is Brugg Lifting’s new BRUbelt line of flat, high strength belt products. Using the same unique coating technology as the CTP ropes, the company will soon unveil new BRUbelts. Suitable for material handling equipment, elevators, and conveyors, the BRUbelt provides maximum dynamic strength and is available in customized designs, according to Brugg Lifting.

The new line of belts combines high strength steel strands and high-tech polymers which allow manufacturers to create innovative drive systems in the smallest possible space. Compared to conventional steel cables, BRUbelt offers higher load-bearing capacity with a reduced metallic cross-section. As an alternative to chains and wire rope hoist systems, the belts offer manufacturers a maintenance-free, cost- and space-saving solution for a range of applications.

The belts will be produced on Brugg Lifting’s new BEMA5 production line, which features bespoke technology developed in-house.

New services

Brugg Lifting provides training to customers to build their skills and expertise around key technologies. By these means, the company wants "to help customers stay competitive in an ever changing industry."

In the past, these training courses were on-site. During the pandemic, Brugg Lifting saw a need for more virtual support. To better meet this need, the company launched the BRUdashboard, an online customer support platform that includes its BRUtraining tutorial series.

The first training in the tutorial series focuses on CTP (coated ropes), including topics around installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. The training courses are continuously updated to include the latest products so that customers have the information they need, at their fingertips, the company declared.

What’s more, the BRUtraining portal offers certification for key technical skills so that customers can become certified Brugg Lifting partners in CTP technology. With access to a community of lifting partners and Brugg Lifting’s own experts, elevator manufactures can get the support they need as well as an opportunity to learn from and share with other players in the lifting industry, Brugg Lifting explained.
